Just a heads up for those that are new on their journey. The three major bariatric vitamin companies will send you free samples of their products so you can try before you buy. Click on the links below the logos to request.

All vitamins are not created equal and these companies specialize in vitamins specially designed for our post weight loss surgery needs.

How do I, as a consumer, find out the difference between the different vitamins as far as how they are made and if one truly is better than the other? As far as I am aware they are not FDA regulated so how are we to protect ourselves with facts? This question always really bothers me. I want what is good for me however, I also don't want to be ripped off by marketing. You know what I mean?

@Theresa Understood. I personally feel better knowing a company is at least taking into consideration my altered anatomy and special absorption issues in the research and development of products, staying active & current in the bariatric community... attending conferences, speaking with Dr's and post-ops... something you don't see with store brand off the shelf companies... these three do that.

About Me

I had my guts rearranged (aka Weight Loss Surgery, RNY gastric bypass surgery June 2006) This blog is basically me rambling about my world. I also post recipes that I've adapted to make weight loss surgery friendly.
I love to cook.
I have always loved to cook. It's my creative outlet. I was scared that having weight loss surgery would put an end to my days in the kitchen but happily it did not. I actually get to be even more creative by analyzing a favorite recipe and seeing where I can make changes to make a healthier version of a pre-op favorite.
